nope doesn't impress me at all -all glam and glitter - the japanese do tend to overdo things - I don't know who they are trying to impress - perhaps the emporer?

the british now have a long and loving relationship with trains and if you want glam and glitter and you have the cash then the Orient Express is the one for me. I remember in the late 40's my parents taking us on a holiday which involved purchasing one pound tickets for almost anywhere you wanted to go on the train around at least England and it may have included Wales and Scotland but the memory dims!
